BTW, Lesnar is only like 10lb heavier than Mir.  It's not so much his raw size that is the problem.  It's that the guy moves like a middleweight.

He's 10lbs heavier at the weigh-in, Lesnar has to cut weight to get down to 265, Mir is always around 255.  By fight time, Lesnar is probably closer to 280 and Mir is still 255ish.

We did see Lesnar moonsault off the top rope at Wrestlemania, eff it up landing right on his face, and still get up.  Granted, no one hit him 5-6 times after that, but we at least know one dramatic shot to the face isn't going to put him out.  That fall would have killed most people.  

If he were facing a world class striker we could probably say that's irrelvant.  Mir is not a world class striker.

Tim Sylvia used to cut to get to weight too.  Difference is that he was a telephone pole.  Being huge doesn't help much if you're a static target.

ugh... I'm not getting into a pro-wrestling/MMA debate... I didn't see Lesnar in wrestlemania, so I have no idea what it looked like.  All I am saying is that we haven't seen him get hit hard in the face ... in MMA... Where like you say, he can get hit 5 or 6 more times before he regains his senses...  And I wouldn't discount Mir's striking too much...

That's not the point, you pointed out that Lesnar is only 10lbs heavier than Mir, which by fight time simply isn't true.

It's not a black/white issue like that.  I can also say Mir doesn't have to cut 20lb to make weight so he's the fresher man at fight time.

jesus... I was just pointing out that by fight time Lesnar is closer to 25lbs heavier than Mir, not 10lbs... I said nothing about how that effects the fight...
